Web Monitoring with Agilent VEE
VEE includes a built- in Web server that can communicate with
other programs via HTTP. You can allow remote users to access
VEE programs and information that resides on your computer.
This section describes how you would share VEE data, and how
a remote user would access the data.
General Guidelines and Tips
• The VEE program running on your system is the VEE
program that the remote user will access.
• Your system must be running VEE. The remote user does not
need to have VEE installed in order to access a VEE program
on your system.
• When the remote user sends a request from their network
browser to VEE, VEE creates a picture to display in the
remote user’s browser window. This picture is a “snapshot”
of the VEE program. (It cannot be edited.)
• By making choices in the VEE Web Server Home Page or by
specifying command line options in the browser URL, a
remote user can view different parts of your VEE program,
have the VEE program refresh the browser display at regular
intervals (to monitor the program’s progress), and display
error message information.
Providing Agilent VEE Data to a Remote User
To set up the VEE Web server so that a remote user can access
data on your system, follow these general steps:
1 Make sure your system is connected to a network.
2 Provide information to the remote user about the URL he or
she will enter in the browser to access your system (which is
described in more detail later).
3 Start VEE, and open the program that you want the remote
user to access, and/or create any files you want the remote
user to access.
